The Q60 Concept is low, wide, and aggressive. Its low-slung roof, high belt line, and sucked-in waistline impart an athletic feel with a certain high-class businessman face in its grille. The car’s inspiration really shines through up front. The lower air dam takes on the same F1 look as the Q80 Inspiration concept. The Q60’s grille shares a similar shape, but is less bold than the Q80 — think “production ready.” Around the sides, the Q60 coupe gets the same gills and accent lines as the Q50 Eau Rouge.
The combination of front scoops and side vents suggests the car will be a hot performer and will likely be functional, cooling the massive brakes behind the 21-inch wheels.
Infiniti at this time hasn’t released any image of the Q60’s interior, but has divulged a few details in the release below. Infiniti describes the interior as being high-quality and with a meticulous attention to detail. It includes things like hand-stitched leather and carbon-fiber accents. Sport seats are said to be comfortable yet supportive for high-speed driving. The seats apparently have thin backs as Infiniti says they help increase rear passenger legroom.
Design-wise, expect many of the same details and features found in the Q80 Inspiration to make their way into the Q60 coupe. However, I suspect the cockpit will have more traditional controls than the Q80, as the Q60 is likely headed to production.
As mentioned earlier, the Q60 coupe may come powered with an updated version of the current Q60’s 3.7-liter V-6. While neither Nissan nor Infiniti has confirmed this, it only makes sense. Currently the engine develops 330 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Upping outputs to say 350 horses and 300 pound-feet would put the Q60 above the BMW 435i’s outputs and close to the Audi A5’s.
My fingers are crossed that Infiniti will still offer the six-speed manual transmission found in the current Q60. Beyond rowing your own, the seven-speed automatic will likely make the generation jump with the 3.7-liter V-6.
